His Fear of Saying I Do, men and marriage

For some men, getting married is like buying a new sweater (I know this sounds weird ladies, but stay with me). Imagine going to the mall and picking out that perfect, brand-spankin’ new sweater. This thing is colorful, soft and nice. We’re talking about one fabulous sweater. But despite all that, you’re still attached to your old sweater. You’re comfortable in it. Sure, you know it’s worn and faded and you know that the new sweater is a hundred times better, but you still think about the old one and all the good times you had in it. You get a little sad about letting it go.

It’s the same thing with getting married. Men know their new married life will be great, but some are still attached to the old glory days of being single, even though they know those days have long since lost their glory. So on that crazy, stressful, whirlwind day that is “The Wedding,” a day that can drive the sober to drink and the sane to lose their minds, some men are thinking about that old sweater. They’re thinking of the girls who got away and all the changes about to happen. They’re thinking about their cold feet and wondering whether they’re doing the right thing.
